Following one of the howto's (September Update 2000 update of the Python Product ...", I've created an object which I think is "publishable". The article says it is but doesn't say how to do so (ie publish it). Instead it goes on to explain how you turn it into a "product", so to be managed by the Zope management interface. It seems that a "product" allows you to define a generic such product which the management interface allows others to create instances of. The example has one entering id, title, questions, etc. Is this a fair statement? In my case I don't want that property since the only instances I wish to admit will be ones defined in a (private) database. If you like, I'm seeking an RPC mechanism and wish to invoke methods on such instances only. Is "creating a product" what I really want to do, or can I stop short at at "publishing"? In the publish only case, what form of URL would people use to get at those methods? Admittedly one method will be a "create/add" but that is to create another entry in my private, non-Zope "database". Perhaps an [substitute favourite commercial database]-SQL type example might be similar if there is an example to refer to? -- Peter J.
